Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered peanut butter
- 4 ounces Fat-free cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the powdered peanut butter and Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps.
Add the fat-free cream cheese to the bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed to blend until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture. Beat on low speed initially to avoid a sugar dust cloud, and then increase to medium speed. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
Add in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix on medium speed until the icing is smooth and homogenous.
Taste the icing, and if you'd like it sweeter, add a little more powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Once satisfied, chill the icing in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before using. This will help it firm up slightly, making it easier to spread or pipe.
Use as a topping for cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
